Nordavind vs. AGO Preview & Prediction - Free CS:GO Betting Picks 6/23

Nordavind and AGO are meeting in the group round of the ESEA MDL Season 34 Europe. These rivals have met on six occasions before, and Nordavind have a 4-2 lead in their meetings. This contest is scheduled as a single-map duel.

The European side Nordavind are coming into this encounter after losing each of the previous four matches, including the most recent one to fnatic at the cs_summit 6 Europe Regional Qualifier on Monday. Over the last three months, Nordavind have a 50.0% win rate. When it comes to the maps during the same period, Nordavind are the most successful on Inferno (57.7% win rate) and Nuke (53.8%), while they have been weaker on Train (0.0%) and Vertigo (16.7%).

The Polish team AGO won five of the last six matches, all at the ESEA MDL Season 34 Europe, and are on a two-game winning streak. AGO have a 51.2% win rate over the previous three months, while they were producing the best displays on Vertigo map (72.7% win rate) and Nuke (57.1%). On the other hand, AGO are the weakest on Mirage (23.1%), Overpass (25.0%), and Inferno (25.0%).

Pick: Over 26.5 Rounds (-128 @PINNACLE)

Nordavind did win each of the last three H2H duels, but two of them were tight and could easily go either way, including the latest one when it was 16-14 on Mirage at the BLAST Rising 2020. This is a Best of 1 matchup, so I expect both teams to take it seriously, especially Nordavind, who are fighting for the playoff spot, unlike AGO, who are six points ahead with two games in hand. I am going with a lot of rounds in this one.
